It all began with the Etch A Sketch - a toy that opened a world of art to Mar Hammel as a young child. Her entire life followed a creative trail in fashion and make-up artistry. When retirement reopened the door to unlimited choices, Mar picked up a paintbrush and beautiful, ethereal women appeared on paper and canvas and board. Some adorned with butterflies, others with flowing gowns and a few so abstracted only their hearts were plain to see. If you peek into her studio window, you'll see her experimenting with mark-making tools, wild colors and layers of texture. And up on a shelf, high in the corner, sits a red Etch A Sketch - a reminder of where the creative trail began.
